The bright sunlight shone into the room, Yulan and Ye Yichen sat opposite each other, smiling Yanyan, the incense burner in the corner of the room rose from the curling ambergris mist, tasting tea and talking, red sleeves added fragrance, Ye Yichen had just come back from the battlefield where the beacon smoke was everywhere and the bones were buried.

He has long been married and had children, and he has dedicated all his enthusiasm to his military career in the first half of his life, and he has always looked down on the delicate and weak of women, who in his eyes are just tools for inheritance, "things". If he had been told that he could sit and talk with a woman, he would not have believed it.

He just felt very comfortable with Yulan. In his life, as the youngest son of Taizu, he has decent brothers, loyal subordinates, and powerful enemies, but he doesn't have a friend who can be said. On the surface, Yulan is no different from the ladies of this era, but in fact, after all, she is a modern person who has worked hard in modern society for nearly 30 years, and the imprint left on her by modern society is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, Ye Yichen feels that she has an indescribable charm of peace and warmth, which is fascinating.

Although she is facing a noble person like Ye Yichen, although she is respectful, she is definitely not like others, who feel a head lower than him. After all, Yulan has been immersed in that era of relative equality for twenty or thirty years, although the society at that time also had hierarchies, but after all, in terms of personality, everyone is still equal.

The so-called revolution only has a difference in the division of labor, and there is no distinction between the high and the low.

Yulan drank the tea slowly, her expression was relaxed and relaxed, Ye Yichen just ate her. Yulan asked the prince about the situation of the bandits in the northwest, and Yulan suddenly said: "I have one thing that I still can't understand, please ask the prince to solve my doubts!" ”

Ye Yichen raised his sword eyebrows, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "You say!" ”

Outside the window, a tree of cold plums is in full bloom, Ye Yichen has restrained his murderous aura, with a lazy smile on his face, a little more of the nobility of the son, and the handsome face makes people dare not force their eyes, but people can't take their eyes off, Yulan sorted out his thoughts and asked; "The first time I saw you, the first time I took the girl and ran out of the house secretly; The second time I lost the embroidered handkerchief I carried with me in Biyun Temple...... The prince probably saw it too? I'm by no means a real lady, eh...... Let's make it clear, I want to know what you like about me? ”

Ye Yichen couldn't help but smile when he saw that she was asking seriously: "Is this question important?" ”

Yulan nodded affirmatively: "For me, it's extremely important!" ”

Ye Yichen pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I really haven't thought about this question. The first time I saw you, I knew that you were not a lady, and in fact, I don't like such rigid people. As for you, I always feel that you are very different from others, and you are very attractive. But if I were to tell what was different, I wouldn't be able to tell for a while. Since Bai Shi went, I also thought that I needed someone to preside over Zhongfang, at least to help me take care of the backyard of the palace, I only have one son, who is only four years old this year, which is far from enough. When I had this thought, the first person who came into my head was you! ”

Yulan was stunned: "This is the end?" ”

Ye Yichen smiled: "Of course...... You're still lovely! "I really don't know what this woman's head is thinking!

Yulan was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, did you let an ancient man with a lot of power swear an alliance with you, saying a bunch of lines like "I love you, the mountains have no tombs, and the heavens and the earth are together"? If he really asked Ye Yichen like this, he would be crazy.

Ye Yichen could say what he said just now, and Yulan knew that it was all in his heart. That's actually enough.

Yulan said: "Xie Lu, Prince Xie can say this to me!" ”

Ye Yichen really couldn't figure out Yulan's intentions: "I didn't say anything, what is there to thank for?" ”

Yulan smiled and said, "I like to hear the truth!" ”

Ye Yichen Road; "A lot of times the truth doesn't sound so good!"

Yulan fiddled with the corners of his clothes, thinking that he would rather face the ugly reality than be blinded by false prosperity, presumably, the prince is the same.

The two talked for a while, and the strangeness when they first met gradually disappeared, and Ye Yichen only felt that it was very useful to be with her. A hint of joy slowly appeared in his eyes. Ye Yichen said: "When it comes to the matchmaker, you have to be cautious, I think you still have to ask the county lord of Qingjiang to come forward once!" ”

Yulan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and suddenly poured another scoop of cold water down: "I'm afraid that my grandfather and grandmother won't agree to this marriage so easily!" ”

Ye Yichen leaned back on the chair and threw a provocative look: "Don't let me be such an outstanding grandson-in-law, what kind of husband does your grandfather and grandmother want to choose for you?" Could it be that I still want to send you to the palace? ”

"Cut!" Yulan really wanted to throw him a middle finger, and said slowly: "The prince's merits are high, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, since ancient times, a powerful minister like you has either been Cao Cao, or he has no place to die!" And the vast majority of those who die have no place to be buried, you don't want to think about how dangerous you are, your grandfather and grandmother don't want me to marry you, in fact, it's for my good! ”

Ye Yichen laughed: "You can see it through!" Aren't you afraid of dying with me without a place to be buried? ”

Yulan smiled mischievously and said quietly: "Now like this, I just want to get out of the way, can the prince still allow it!" I have no choice but to play a big game with you! ”

"Hahaha!" Ye Yichen let out a burst of happy laughter.

With Ye Yichen, time flies, when he goes out, it is still the first morning light, but it is already time for lunch after speaking. Ye Yichen left Yulan to have lunch in the palace, and then let her leave. Yulan took the Yang family's carriage back to the house, and when he arrived at the second gate, he heard a commotion in front of the door before he got off the car.

Yulan lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the grandmother guarding the door pushing a mother out: "Roll!" Eat things inside and outside, and be embarrassed to run to the Yang Mansion, and go back to tell your master that our Yang family has no relatives like you! ”

The mother-in-law who was kicked out was gloomy and begged for mercy: "Mother Sun, just be gracious, I was also ordered by the young grandmother to come back to see the second wife's condition, what is the matter if you don't let me in like this?" ”

Yulan was stunned when she heard this, and sent Xiaoyu: "You go down and ask, what's going on?" What kind of system does it become? ”

Xiaoyu went down in response, and Xiaoyue also got out of the car, and took the pedal to help Yulan get out of the car. As soon as Yulan stood up, Xiaoyu came back: "It's from Dingfu, and the second girl sent to visit the second wife." The eldest lady spoke, no matter who the people of the Ding Mansion were, were not allowed to come in, even if the second girl came! Everyone in the house hates the people of the Ding family, and Mrs. Sun is also taking the opportunity to attack! Because the second girl failed to spread the news in advance, the eldest lady even hated this niece.

Because Ding Ge took refuge in the eunuch Chen Jia, and the second wife was selected by the second wife for this family business, after the old lady resigned, the second wife was so angry and depressed that she couldn't afford to get sick.

Ding Ge Lao moved down Yang Shoufu, but he did not sit in the position of Shoufu. Although Chen Jia said a lot of good things for him in front of the emperor, the emperor still "consulted" Mrs. Yang, and the old lady recommended Ma Yunsheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, to take over the position of the first assistant. and said that he "has become a country and has the weight of a prime minister"!

After some careful consideration, the emperor still adopted the old lady's opinion.

Ding Ge hated the old lady because of this. Ding Zhao looked at Yujia and did not allow her to go home to visit her mother. Yulan had vaguely heard of these things, and this matter had nothing to do with the second girl, but she was caught in the middle and suffered two layers of anger, Yulan couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

"Let's go back, this is not something we can manage."

After returning to Lu Jingzhai, Yulan remembered that the second wife had always been good to her, so she instructed Xiaoyue: "Take the medicinal materials that the little prince sent last time, and I'll take a look at the second aunt later!" "In the past six months, the little prince almost emptied the treasury of Jingyang Palace, and sent things to Yulan every now and then, Yulan received gifts with soft hands, plus Ye Yichen gave her a lot of good things in the name of Qi, and before she knew it, Yulan had become a little rich woman.

When it was time to change clothes, Xiaoyue had already prepared the medicinal herbs for the second wife. Yulan asked her to put it in the gift box, and took the two big girls to the courtyard of the second wife.

A mother beside the second wife saw it and hurriedly said, "The seventh girl is here!" Quickly lifted the curtain for her.

Yulan entered the inner room and saw the second wife crooked on the couch, her face pale and haggard. The girls and mothers in the room held their breath and didn't make a sound at all. Yuqing also sat at the head of her bed with low eyebrows, the second wife was her mother-in-law, so she naturally wanted to serve the sick.

Seeing Yulan coming in, the second wife got up and wanted to greet her, but Yulan hurriedly took two steps to support her: "Second aunt, lie down quickly!" You're not in good health, what are you doing with me all these nonsense! ”

When the second wife heard her say this, she lay back. said: "Didn't you just come to see me yesterday, why are you here again today!" I'm not seriously ill, but I'm panicking! ”

Yulan smiled: "Look at what you said, I can't come over to see you yet!" If you want me to say you, it's all a breath of silence, some things, no one is a god in the sky, no one can predict the prophet, you don't have to live with yourself! As he spoke, he took the gift box from Xiaoyue's hand, "A little bit of my niece's heart, honor my aunt!" ”

The second wife said: "It's good that you're here, why do you still send things to me?" It's not easy for you to save some possessions! "Yulan is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and her food and clothing are in the public school, and she generally can't save any private wealth, so in this case, the girl's family that has not been out of the cabinet generally does not give gifts to the elders, and the elders will not be picky.

Yulan said: "Second aunt, don't talk to me, you reward me with more than ten times more things, and I just borrow flowers to offer Buddha!" ”

The second wife was already a cool person, and when she heard her say this, she said: "Since you say so, Mother Zhang, Miss Seven's things will be kept!" He asked Yulan to sit next to him.

Yulan talked for a while to enlighten her, but the second wife just sighed, the eldest lady grabbed the second wife's pigtails in recent days, and didn't give her a good face every day. There are hundreds of people up and down the family, all of whom resent the second room for marrying such a relative, and the public is angry, and the second wife herself is at fault, and she really can't say anything! She has been strong all her life, and she has never been so angry.

Yulan cautiously told the second wife about the second door, and the second wife had already known about it. Listening to it, I almost burst into tears: "I think that at the beginning, I chose left and right, but I didn't think that I would choose such a wolf-hearted family." Now the two girls are sandwiched between their mother-in-law's house, and they are angry at both ends, I don't know how bitter Lu Dao should be in her heart! ”

In the end, it was a mother-daughter connection, the second wife was already rolling down tears as she spoke, Yulan and Yuqing hurriedly persuaded her, and for a while, the second wife suppressed her grief. Yulan asked, "Second sister, what should I do?" ”

The second wife smiled bitterly: "The Yang family and the Ding family have made trouble at this step, how can they be relatives again, just now my sister-in-law came to discuss with me, saying that she wanted to make decisions for Jia'er and let them leave!" "The second wife said that it was a discussion, but in fact, the eldest lady's attitude just now was very tough!

Yulan was taken aback and said, "Then what is your attitude?" ”

The second wife sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can I do!" She held her breath in her heart, and she also felt that the Ding family was really hateful, and harmony might not be a good solution.
